Why are free aimers so elitist?

that post said something else entirely when I hit the quote button
something about irony and how we were stupid
and lookee here it now says the exact opposite

edit: had to break up my post because of all the quotes

I'm not backpedaling nothing you rube. I made an ad-hominem attack toward Mr. Zarathustra because he missed the whole irony troll thing...just like you did...but unlike you he's made a couple of references to big boy stuff that tells me he's educated...you have failed to.

Really, referencing Nietzsche is enough to invalidate an argument. "Oh he mentioned big boy stuff therefore he must know what hes talking about".

You do realise that you're judging people because they're acting like FA "übermenschen" and afterwards proceed to be something that I like to call a "big boy stuff" übermensch?

Congratulations...you know a bit about philosophy, or you have google. If you wish to discuss the merits of moral nihilism please PM me. I'd love to have an intelligent conversation about it. However, I'm not getting into a philosophical debate in a thread.

You did. I wasn't complaining about them. I was making a reference to indicate that I understood his damn screen name. Which I'm guessing you didn't read the Wikipedia article completely or just missed something when you Googled ubermensch, or you would understand the first "ubermensch" comment directed at Zarathustra instead of mistaking it for me having a problem with him.

I am an ubermensch because I don’t buy slave-morality. (Whoosh…off to Wiki…)

Phyxsius-

Free aim is more fun, it lets you exibit your excellent hand eye coordination and fast reflexes. Its more rewarding to kill when you know you earned it then by killing with "assistance".

Perfect delivery.

Nobody is whiney and insecure as you put it. It is becoming annoying when one of them is trying to shove down the other`s throat his choice. And we do enter soap opera territory when they start throwing arguments like noob, scrub, or elitist.

I hadn't even read that comment when I posted before. And the post in which I supposedly didn't know what I was talking about applies to your post right here as well. In the comment that I read it seemed as if you were accusing him of being an elite, yet acted like an elite yourself afterwards. Hence my comment. Well, I guess you're not a hypocrite and an ubermensch, but just an ubermensch.

Like they feel the need to defend their decision every 5 seconds. Congrats you can aim in a video game, put that on a job application.

Tiny victories. People have to find something to be proud of in their life. And in our attention whore culture, everyone wants to feel like a special and unique butterfly. So people brag about K/D ratios, free aiming, glitching, not glitching, race times, hacking...ad nauseum.

Just do what I do, shrug your shoulders and say, "That's nice." Then continue to play your game your way.

So what you're saying is that you're also a hypocrite?

I believe she is saying that the mountains you folks are climbing here are more or less irrelevant outside "LaLa Land"

Zwenkwiel

ah yes because of all those books you read XDmakes perfect sense to come in here to hate on free aimers being elitist and than proceed to be all elitist because you read books

yeah, that's certainly going to impress a lot of people XD

(btw the nr of threads of free aimers being elitist pales in comparison to the nr of threads by auto-aimers crying about free aimers being elitist, should tell you something right there, they know what's what)

Short answer - AA makes PvP gunfights pointless and rage-inducing, but it's impossible to find other players on FA. I have several essays which explain this in further detail, but you probably don't hate yourself enough to read them.

Auto-aim lobbies are excellent. Keeps the clowns away from the real players. Hooray for auto-aim!!!

Thus you spoke...like a true Ubermensch

I see what you did there. Do I get the big-boy reference points too? Please please please.

Different people caring about different things seems perfectly normal to me. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with people showing off or wanting to feeling special, though you're right that obsessing about one thing can lead to people being overly proud of largely meaningless accomplishments. Still I wouldn't say being proud of something is necessarily the same as attention whoring either.

Really it comes down to this - this is a community made up of many disparate antagonistic tastes and that inevitably leads to disagreements which can never ever be resolved. Happens everywhere, though usually they're more civil than this. So you get people arguing about things that other people absolutely do not care about at all. The end.
